I went to one side of the Arch, got real close again with an ultra wide angle, shooting 9 image HDR handheld and finished with CEP4 and like it. Great little 10min shoot. I like those that produce fun and solid...

Chris in his wonder jacket was perfect for a sense of scale. Now you know the arch isn’t really big. Now Chris looks small in the frame, that’s in part because he didn’t want to be a model. It was also to show scale and still say big. I took that further by shooting with a 16Fish. Why isn’t Chris bowing shooting with that lens? He is dead center as is the horizon line so there is no bowing. Oh yeah, it’s a 9 image handheld HDR as well. Scale is captured, how about pizazz?

We decided to check out Sand Dune Arch even though the sun was pretty high in the sky. It turned out to be the perfect time, if you don’t mind doing a 9 image handheld HDR. The tops of the rocks were in full sun, the bottom in total shade. Shooting a 9 image HDR you know that range of light was huge. Photomatic Pro had no problem assembling the parts and then the rest of the finishing was done in PS. The one problem? No sense of size, no sense of wonder. Can that be fixed?

We’re in Moab this week and having a great time! We scouted yesterday in Arches which is the land of great rocks! I came with the mind set of doing a lot of B&W and the light made it real easy to do. These are really simple clicks, shoot and convert in SEP2 to B&W. There will be more as the week goes on and I’ll explain more as I go. Photos captured by 14-24AFS on Lexar UDMA digital...
